having a bit a nightmare in one of my schools with folder redirection.

To give a bit of background we created a DFS to assist in moving the data from a failing server, which worked perfectly.

We rebuild a new DC and put in place, added to the DFS to bring the Data back across and all seemed to be working ok, no replication errors, users could access the shares ok.

During this move, folder redirection was also made to the DFS (yes i have seen since then that this is not recommended ) but it seemed like a good idea at the time and all was working ok.

However we have then tried to move the folder redirection back to a UNC path and all appears to have gone horribly wrong!

Users are facing huge logon times - which appears to be the logon recreating the my documents folders for each user and copying across contents - although these folders already exist! and contain all the data that the logon is copying across.

Any ideas how i can nip this in the bud - as we will have a storage issue should all the documents folders for all staff are duplicated!
